3 cats at North Wales rescue centre hoping for adoption
The staff and volunteers at the Trelogan-based charity, in Flintshire, know the animals as individuals, and therefore know what kind of home they are more likely to thrive in.
Whether it's a dog, cat, rabbit or horse, staff are on hand to advise on the character and suitability of each.

They also make sure potential new owners are aware of the ongoing costs of a pet, including food and vet bills, which can often be for unexpected treatment.
But thankfully there are plenty of responsible, loving people and families looking to give an animal a loving new home.
And there are always animals of all types, ages and needs that will be the perfect match.
Here we meet just some of the cats at NCAR looking for a new home...
• For more details, please visit ncar.org.uk or if you would like to support the charity without adopting, you can visit their cafe, open from 10.30am to 3.30pm. They also accept donations at the centre between 10am and 4pm.
Lenny waiting for adoption at NCAR.
• Lenny is almost four-years-old, came into care due to his owner being allergic. He is very nervous in the cattery environment and has taken a while to settle in. He is making some progress but we feel he will come along much quicker in a home environment. He is looking for a quiet home as this is what he has been used to previously. In his previous home he was used to going in and out so is looking for a home with a good outdoor space for him to explore once he has settled in. His previous owners have said he is affectionate when he knows you but is quite a shy cat in general. His previous owners have said once he trusts you he is fine being stroked and picked up and likes human interaction and sitting on your lap in the evenings. Lenny is looking for an adult only, pet free home and needs someone that will be patient with him whilst he settles and adjusts to his new home.
Zelda waiting for adoption at NCAR.
• Four-year-old Zelda is a nice girl who has come into care for rehoming due to her owners ill health. She has been used to a quiet home, so is looking for a quiet home this time around too. Zelda is used to going outside previously so is looking for a home away from busy roads, where she can venture safely once she has settled into her new home. She can be a bit timid at times but is affectionate and loving once she is familiar with you.
Leo waiting for adoption at NCAR.
• Six-year-old Leo is a lovely girl who has been signed over to care for rehoming due to a change of circumstances for her owners. She had been in the same home since being a kitten, so she was understandably quite bewildered when she arrived here but she has settled more now and we are seeing her lovely personality. She is looking for a home as the only pet as she has never lived with other animals before. Leo is looking for a home with a safe outdoor area for her to venture and explore once she has settled in, as she has previously been used to going in and out throughout the day.

BioGoats praised for speedy weed control in Saundersfoot churchyard
Calling in the ruminants to tackle overgrown parts of Saundersfoot's St Issell's Church earlier this month was the idea of its guardian, Saundersfoot Community Council. And the eco-friendly and cost-effective solution to garden power tools, chemicals and manpower proved a huge success. The goats were undeterred by the amount of vegetation involved in their challenge. (Image: Saundersfoot Community Council) Not only did the hungry herd do a sterling job reducing ivy, brambles and other vegetation, to restore the area's tidiness and tranquility, but they also completed it in record time. Announcing 'The Goats Have Gone!, Saundersfoot Community Council posted on Facebook: "The goats at St Issell's Cemetery have done such a brilliant job that they finished their shift earlier than expected and have now moved on to their next adventure! The four-legged lawnmowers provided a sterling service in record time. (Image: Saundersfoot Community Council) "There's still a bit of clearing left to do, but we're sure you'll agree — the goats have made a huge difference. "A big thank you to BioGoats2Rent for this fun, eco-friendly and super effective way of tidying things up and to all our amazing Councillors who popped in daily to check the goats had everything they needed. "From here, we'll be carrying on with the final bit of clearing and then working on a plan to keep everything looking neat and lovely long-term. "Well done, goats — and thank you!" This is not the first time that goats have been enlisted for churchyard chomping in Pembrokeshire. In June, they made an appearance in the graveyard at St Andrew's Church, Narberth. They hail from the Clynderwen-based Goats from Biogoats 2 Rent, believed to be the only business of its type in the UK, have already been used to provide an eco-friendly service for Pembrokeshire County Council, the national park, and for other local churches.
